Empty - For Your Choice 39 Contest

A rummage, a good look around I looked but all that I found Was empty A darkened void, no hint enjoyed All inspiration, unemployed And empty No notion, no emotion No inner commotion No spark that enlightens No flash of what frightens Just empty No Halloween whispers No birthday nor Christmas No first date, no worst date No indiscreet sisters Just empty This my domain, my nowhere bound train Where darkness and haze uncouple my wain My keyboard untapped, my paper still plain As I find my brain is empty again. 8 November 2020 For: Your Choice (39) Sponsor: Brian Strand

This is a hilarious way to show that your brain was anything but empty Terry.

Sometimes when you’ve been in and out of writer’s block, the best way out is to write about... writer’s block. Thanks for your comment, Caren.
